| Secretary Dovey of the State Bureau
Of immigration has furnished the State
Printer with the manuscript of the blanks
which are to be sent out to the county
assessors asking for such statistics Of
their respective counties as will aid the
Bureau. The blanks arc similar to those
sent out by the Surveyor General, but
more comprehensive. The county AS
SCISSORS are required to furnish this in
formation, as the following section Of the
Act creating the Bureat: Sec. 6. Said
Bureau shall require Of each county As.
SCISSOR in this State from time to time
such information and statistics as will
aid in carrying out the provisions of the
Act, and any county Assessor who shall
refuse or willfully neglect to give such
information and statistics when so re.
quested. if in his power, shall be guilty
Of malfeasnances in Office and shall be
prosecuted and punished therefore as
provided by law. Other county officers
shall, so far as in their power, aid As
SCISSORS in performing the duties herein
imposed. Virginia Chronicle.

A NOVEL MoT0a.



After twenty years Of study and ex
periments, Albert Pietrowski, machinis
living in fremont, has succeeded in in
venting new motor, which promises t,
revolutionize industry by dispensing. no
only with stationary engines and boilers
but also with the consumption Of coal.
His motor is simple in plan and con
struction. 1t runs without fuel, occu
pies little room and may be built al
merely . nominal cost compared with
the cost Of steam engine. 1t has power
enough to set in motion any large -four.
ing mill or factory.
Professor L. J. Boeck, formerly Pro-
lessor of Engineering at the University
Of Virginia, describes the motor in a re-
port a. follows: "Tbe new motor con-
sists Of two hollow wheels, each pair re.
solving on the same axis but in opposite
directions; each wheel is provided with
grooved compartments. radiating from
the center to the circumference. To
put each pair of wheels in motion four
iron balls Of equal weight are put in the
compartments Of one and five into those
Of the other wheel. The ninth ball de-
stroying the equilibrium and performing
thus its share Of the work on one wheel
10 switched of into an empty compart-
ment in the other and adds it's weight to
continue the revolution. Each ball in
turn performs the function Of the ninth
ball, and the two wheels are kept in mo.
tion until checked by some arrangement.
: It is needless TO say of how great i'm.
portance the application Of this new mo.
tor will bs in the leading branches of our
industry.
BY using wheels Of FIVE feet in diam.
eter and balls Of about thirty pounds in
weight, 1000 to 1900 revolutions per
minute, or force amounting to four or
i've horse power, may be obtained. This
force may be increased to 100 and more
horse power, either by increasing the d.
amster Of the wheels and the weight Of
the balls, or by increasing in due proper.
ton the number Of wheels and the num-
bsr Of balls.
A wheel sixty feet high, thirty feet
above ground and thirty feet below
ground. would furnish the same power
= an engine Of lO0-horse power. Ten
ps;n Of wheels, each Eve feet in diameter
would furnish fifty horse power and oc.
cupy small space. Fifty pairs Of wheels
could be united, and would furnish $50. |
horse power, which would move the larg. |
1T mill in the world. They would not |
occupy any more space than a large sta. |
tionsry engine and its boilers.
The great value Of the new motor in |
industry i that it will cost nothing for |
fuel to run il, will make NO smoke and |
viii need NO expensive engine room. 1t
may b pat up out Of doors or in shed. |
0ns man is required to oil it. 1t runs at |
) uniform speed. the number Of revolu.
lions per minute being always the same. |
y may Be- easily stopped by applying
brake, and Il may BE- started At any time, |
night Or day, At seconds notice. There
: no building FIRE, shoveling in coal |
md getting up steam. You put your
hand on lever. The motor starts.

it, II had known he was going sooner |

Travers and tho English Orator.

1t is duo to Mr.. William r. Travcrs that
thls country still retains tho palm for oratory
and Voubllity of speech. A few years ago a
Na'lhllnS and lo4uacious Britisler had an
pcale'l in our midst to dispute the claim of
th" National cup in oratory, us Rowell had
done Tor the belt in pedcstrianisln. 1t was i'm
IN" yachting season, and tho voluble cham
lion was invited to accompany II party, of
which Mr. Travcrs was tho leading spirit
down tho bay, in Mr.. Travcrs' yacht The
orator had talked nearly everybody within
ealailot of his voice almost deaf. When the
party arrived ut the dinner table, 1t was
hoped TINT he would cease for short time.
but when every other topic seemed exhaust
ed, us well us the patience of his listeners. he
started off with renewed flucncy on the sub
icrt Of oysters. which constituted tho dish
then ut table
sit is now Il 'lebatablc point among scien
fists" he said, 'ns to whether or not the oyster
las brails.'
| TravcrS, who up to this time had endured
the IhlIction of his verbose guest with tho
ralmncss of job, said: ~ tl-tL-ink tho
oyster must have b-b-rains, because it

by this satric stroke the English orator
was drlnfonndcd and almost parnlyzed; his
llllchi tongue ceased to wag with its usual
v"lnbillfy, aud when requested to name his
time for th" international contest lie begged
to be excused until cured of his cold. He
took the next steamer for Liverpool, und l,as
not been heard Of since. Thus Mr. Travers'
lnrlsire remark about tho mental attributes
OF the oyster thoroughly squashcd him and
saved the orutorical honor of our country.-

Ant,doto for Germs and Fungi.

DR.. A. B. Grifiiths all English plysi-
clan, has just published communication
which is of great Importance to horticultur-
lists and agriculturists He demonstrates
that iron sulphate is an antidote for many of
the most virulent epidemics which attack field
and garden crops. These diseases are due to
microscopic funguses, whose structures are
built up i'll somewhat different manner to
the corresponding parts in other plants. 1t
appears that the cellulose in these funguses is
acted upon by iron sulphate, whereas in the
higher plants the cclluose of the cell walls is
not influenced. The iron sulphate destroys
the cellulose Of tho funguses, but does not af-
feet that of tho attacked plant. 1t is, there
fore, an antdote and destroyer of such para
site germs and funguses as the potato dis
ease, wheat mildew, etc.-Frank Leslie's.

An Actors Uniquo Invention.

A distinguished American comedian, Mr..
w. J. Florence, has devised plan by which
drunlarls can make themselves of practical
and immediate and largo value to their fam
lilies. The plan is this: A gallon of whisky
can be bought for, sny, So This quantity
will produce IN average of sixty-1ve drinks.
Let tho drunkald buy tho gallon of whisky,
take it home and appoint his wifc barkeeper
Every time he becomes "thirsty," under this
Florcntinc plan he raps on the sideboard, and
bis barkeeper wife deals out a drink, for
which he pays her fifteen cents Sixty-fivo
times fifteen cents is s9.75. That sum, less s3
uhc purchase price of tho sixty-flvo drinks by
the gallon, is sG75, every farthing OF which
is net profit Any reasonably industrious
drunkard will consume gallon of whisky
rer week. In one year he will thus be the
direct source of profit of 1851, Of which his
wife will be tho beneficiary. That she would
make wise use of it no person could doubt. for
wives Of drunkards can usually mako dollar
look larger and go farther than any other
class of women under tho sun. Mr.. Florence
certainly deserves we'll of his countrywomen
for his unique invention.-Detroit Free Press

Disease Germs in tho Air.

Recent experiments by DIR. Percy F. Frank
land, described before the English Society of
Arts, show the following number of micro.
scopic organisms found ina given quantity of
Dir in different localities:
Top of Primrose hill, 8; bottom of Prim-
rose HILL "a; top of Norwich cathedral spire
600 feet), Z; Mt the bottom, is; Golden gal
lcry of st. Paul's cathedral, H. in tho church,
yard beneath, 20; in Konsington gardens, 49,;
Hyde park, 43; Exhibition road, sol; in the
chemical laboratory of Science institution
80; in the room of meeting of the Royal So
ciety near tho close Of the session, 49,.
In u third class railway carriage containing
four persons, soon after starting, the number
of organisms that were falling on one square
foot per minute was 395. Soon after this the
carriage was filled, containing ten persons,
after which it was found that tho number
falling per square foot per minute was 8, ,12U.
Alta distance from land Of ninety sea miles
the average Of the experiments gave ono
organism in twenty-six liters; when the dis.
tance from land was 120 miles it was one in
ninety-three liters Out of twelve expert
mcnts made at a minimum distance of l2O sea
miles i'll eleven the air was absolutely germ
free, SO that it would appear that the maxi
mum distance to which, under ordinary cir
cunistances, micro organisms can be trans
ported across the sea is about 100 sea miles.

The statement contained in Rider Hag-

corning the existence of white races in the
interior of Africa, has received a most re-
markable confirmation from the man who
above all others is qualified to speak on the
subject ZeEehr Pasha, the grand old slave
king of Central Africa, whom the German
traveller, DR.. Schweinfurth, describes in 1871
as living In a palace where visitors were

Talking the other day to correspondent
about the slave countries on the White Milo
which are entirely savage, he remarked: 'sAt
Sahara and Bengheh, in the very heart Of
the slave country, there are tribes as white as
Europeans with long and silky hair. Tho
boards of the old men sometimes reach down
to their feet" Zebehr, in describing others
OF the black tribes, asserts that cannibalsm
still prevails and that many of them eat none
but human flesh. Men and women are sold
in the markets by the pound exactly as one
sells mutton and beef. The old and fat are
preferred. Sometimes they are sold dead and
cut up.'-New York World.
